DANIEL BURGESS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y. I

VENTILATOR FOR COOKING AND OTHER APARTMENTS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 332,379, dated December15, 1885.

Application filed November 2, 1885. Serial No. 181,593. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DANIEL BURGESS, of the city and State of New York,have invented an Improvement in Ventilators for Cooking and otherApartments, of which the following is a specification.

In cooking and other apartments, especially in tenement-houses andflats, the odor from the kitchens, bath-rooms, and water-closets is veryobjectionable, because it passes into the hallways, and from one room toanother, and to other apartments. Ineffectual efforts have been madeheretofore to carry away these odors.

My present invention relates to a separate and independent flueespecially adapted to ventilating the cooking-apartment, bath-room, andwater-closets.

An upright boiler connected with waterback of range is ordinarily usedin kitchens for a supply of hot water, thus giving unnecessary andobjectionable heat to the kitchens. My invention utilizes this heat byplacing the boiler in the ventilating-flue, and thus obtaining a strongcurrent of air in said flue from the kitchen, bath-room, and watercloset to the roof. The arrangement of parts is repeated at every storywith increasing heat and currents in this flue.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional plan representing a portion ofthe building in which this improvement is introduced. Fig. 2 is avertical section through the line at w.

The kitchen is represented at A, and the chimney -jambs B receivebetween them a cooking-range, O, and the products of combastion arecarried away to a smoke-flue, D. The range and chimney-jambs arediagonal, so as to occupy one corner of the kitchen, and there is aventilating-flue, E, in the corner behind the chimney-jamb and range.\Vithin this ventilating-flue is the hot-water boiler E, which issupported upon a metallic grating or open-work floor, that does notobstruct the ventilating column of air. The pipes and conneotionsbetween the hot-water boiler and the water-back of the range are to beof any desired character. Above the wall L, behind the range, andbeneath the breast, there is an opening, preferablyin the form of a longslot, through which the odors and vapors from the cooking pass into theflue E.

The bath-room G is immediately behind the ventilating-flue in thekitchen. H indicates the position of the bath-tub, and I thewatercloset. The flue E is partitioned off from the bath-room, and inthis partition is a door, preferably of sheet-iron, to give access tothe flue E and boiler, should repairs become necessary; and there areone or more openings, preferably at S, through this partition, forventilating the bath-room or water closet or the pipe thereof.

The ventilating-flue E extends vertically to the roof, and is providedwith a suitable cap or cover, that prevents rain beating into the same,but allows the free escape of the heated atmosphere and the odors andvapors that it contains; and it is to be understood thatintenementhouses the devices described are provided at each story, and theone ventilating-flue is suiiicient for all the cooking-ranges, andwater-closets, and bathrooms.

I claim as my invention 1. The jambs B, for receiving between them acooking-range, and the flue E, behind the chimney-breast, and an openingover the range into the said flue E, in combination with the hot-waterboiler placed within the flue E to warm the atmosphere therein andpromote ventilation, substantially as set forth.

2. The jambs B B, adapted to receive between them the cooking-range, andthe flue E, behind the chimney-breast, there being an opening above thecooking-range into said flue E, in combination with the hot-water boilerF, within the flue E, and a grating to support the boiler, substantiallyas set forth.

3. The jambs B B, between which the cooking-range is received, the flueD, for the escaping products of combustion, and the flue E, behind thebreast, there being an opening into the same above the cooking-range, incombination with the hot-water boiler F, within the flue E, and actingto heat the air therein, the bath-room G, behind and adjoining thebreast and chimney, and a partition having an opening between thebath-room and the flue E, substantially as set forth.

Signed by me this 28th day of October, A. D. 1885.

DANIEL BURGESS.
